http://bamahammer.com/2015/10/22/hilarious-tennessee-fan-voicemails-left-for-lane-kiffin/
Site probably is loaded with spyware, and there's some ad playing that I had to kill a plugin to stop, but hey, Vol fans got a hold of what they believed was Lane Kiffin's phone number, and proceed to leave a bunch of voice mails and texts. Course, it was just a prank, and this site uploaded a bunch of them, so basically it's like an unfiltered version of Finebaum. Oh, and eat a dick, Lane.

I had no idea this was Alabama v. Tennessee week. Usually mre makes a big deal out of it but he has been rather calm this week leading up to the game.

"With the help and input of the faculty, staff, students, search committee and search firm, I feel we exceeded that expectation and I'm honored to bring Dr. Steinmetz from an institution as respected and renowned as Ohio State to the UA System."

- Donald Bobbitt, via Amanda Etchison, The Lantern

Ohio State's executive vice president and provost Joseph Steinmetz has been named the new chancellor of the University of Arkansas, pending approval from the Board of Trustees of the university's system. Steinmetz will start on January 1 of next year. Steinmetz was named a finalist for the position earlier this month, and had also received consideration from the University of Iowa as university president, as well as the University of Texas, until he withdrew his name for consideration.

Per the Lantern, Steinmetz said, "I want you to know that my six-plus years at Ohio State as executive dean and more recently as executive vice president and provost have been wonderfully rewarding and I have appreciated the opportunity to work with all of you on behalf of all the faculty, students and staff at The Ohio State University." Ohio State spokesman Chris Davey said that the school was working on finding an interim VP and provost for Steinmetz, who has been at Ohio State since 2009, and would make an announcement next month. While Ohio State will miss Steinmetz, it's nice to know that Bret Bielema will have to answer to a Buckeye.

Wonder how they will get along.

It's fun seeing Tennessee fans think they can beat Bama because they beat Georgia. They're going to take a royal spanking.

People believe that? LOL. Thinking you have a chance because Dobbs fits the profile of qbs that have given Bama trouble and we actually have talent this year, sure. Thinking you can win cause you came back and beat a team that the team you are about to play beat the dogshit out of really doesn't make sense.

Having Tennessee change up their entire offensive style midgame last year, hurt.

This time, I think we are going in expecting some QB runs. I expect pain to be inflicted when they try.


I do like the whole "Alabama has problems with mobile quarterbacks who are having statistically perfect days throwing the ball." I'm sure Alabama is the only team in America that can't stop perfect running and throwing quarterbacks.

I might just eat the $70 ticket to the Texas game tomorrow... It's going to be fucking pouring. I have to drive an hour to get to Austin and then hope the game isn't called for thunder... and I only have my rain coat...

Guess I should get a couple of ponchos to take too.

Weird, out of the hundreds of Notre Dame fans, mine was set to a disturbingly close high school (that I did not attend or frankly have ever given much thought to before now.)

There's a difference between having a remote chance, and thinking you'll definitely do something. Tennessee has the former.

Well, the argument is basically "Nobody said we'd beat Georgia and we did." Of course, nobody thought Georgia would lose its best player on the first play of the game.

Anyway I understand wanting to be optimistic. The truth is I really like watching Tennessee lose.

Man up. I stood out in the rain for the Clemson/ND game after driving two and a half hours, and that was just as bad (probably worse).

Lol Memphis. How did you give away the hail mary?



That's really close to a TD. I think it probably should be but I don't know that it's "indisputable" enough to overturn the call.

Get your Yahoo picks in. Tulsa/Memphis is a game you've already missed.

Hearing Mack Brown mention the luck involved in recruiting QBs and talking about recruiting them as DBs, that's good stuff.

I'll give it a go. Worst case scenario, the game is called because of thunder and I get drunk somewhere downtown Austin.

Not raining now, just muggy as fuck.

assuming recruiting scouting during a bye week, as Georgia isn't playing tomorrow.

Oh, guess that Eason kid is a UGA commit, so doubly so that UGA would be in attendance, to continue to prove to Eason that they want him.
